Now that we have a “week off” more or less, let’s look at the remainder of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. We’ll use several “shorthand” abbreviations or symbols…
- Â.Mickie stands for asteroid Mickie
- Ð.Goofy stands for dwarf planet Goofy
- Š/ stands for Station, when a planet’s Energy is especially Strong
- Î stands for Initiation of a New Cycle between two planets
Below we list only the Stations (plus one major Initiation), or the times when a planet’s Energy is Strongest and most Distinct or Identifiable. When there are several planets Stationary at the same time, though, it will likely be hard to Distinguish the Separate Influence of each planet, because their Energies will be Merged. When two planets are Stationary at the same time, it’s as if they’re Conjunct.
In general, we Experience the Energy of a Station before it happens, as the Energy Intensifies until it is “Complete” (the planet starts moving in the other Direction), and then it drops off rapidly. In cases where we aren’t Neutral to the Energy, we may make Decisions about it, and those Decisions (Orcus) will carry the Energy over into the time following the Station, possibly even eventually Creating new Karma.
For instance, the Energy of asteroid Moira is about Fate and Choice – Fate in situations where our Karma is still Unconscious…
Someone else is doing something to me
and Choice in situations where we’ve brought the Karma into Consciousness…
Oh! I’m really not Experiencing what they seem to be Doing, I’m Experiencing my own lifelong Habitual Reaction to it! They don’t even know I’m here!
Once we’re Conscious, we can Choose to Respond Constructively, rather than Reacting from our Victimhood.
So if we’re Insulted or Angered by something someone Says or Does, and we don’t Realize that it’s our Button that’s been pushed, we might Decide that this person is not “on our side,” and make them (or worse, people like that) a Lifelong Enemy. And if we stay in 3D (which is likely if we haven’t Cleared our Karma), we’re likely to continue the same Conflict into Other Lifetimes. You can tie up all Deviations from Whirled Peas and all of World History in this simple wrapper, and there won’t be much left to Clean Up.
On the other hand, we might Feel Insulted or Angry, but if we Recognize that it’s our Feeling, we may Choose to Agree to Disagree, or even move to a different Meeting, but we won’t make it into a Capital Offense.

There are a number of ways to guess how soon we’ll begin to Experience a Station before it’s Complete, but a useful rule of thumb is…
- A week for the four outer planets, asteroid Bee-Zed, and the dwarf planets except dwarf planet Ceres (that is, everyone with orbits longer than ten years)
- Several days for the three inner planets, the asteroids, and dwarf planet Ceres (orbits between one and ten years)
- Since “Tropical” astrology (the kind we use) sees events from the Perspective of Earth, neither Earth nor Sun nor Moon are ever Stationary
We might also begin to Experience the Energy of the next Station as soon as the current Station is Complete. Our General Sensitivity is obviously relevant. And if a Station occurs on one of our natal planets, we’ll React more Strongly and probably sooner.
If we want an Astrological Rule rather than Empirical Guidance, the usual Sensitivity projects that the Impact begins when the Stationing planet is less than one Degree from its Exact Station. However, some of the newer dwarf planets (such as Sedna) move less than one Degree in a year, which would mean they’re Always Stationary. And yes, we can certainly interpret that to mean that Fear is Omnipresent, as was common Before the Current Era (ie, BCE or BC)! If we’re in the Habit of Converting Fear to Power (with Kegels for instance), then this is a Powerful interpretation!
But using lengthy Stations can give us so much overlap that we’re never sure what’s happening.
Asteroids usually take about four days to move one Degree, but when they’re slowing down to Stop and Turn Around, they’ll be much slower. For instance, rather than 23-26 October for the first Klotho Station, you might look at 11-26 October (the one-Degree range) instead, and Pay a lot more Attention if you have a natal planet near the Ides of Gemini.
Bottom Line, feel free to start my date ranges sooner. But if you’re still Experiencing Strong Energy after the Station, in order to Avoid accumulating new Karma you want to look over the last several days to see if you’ve made any Decisions based on your Discomfort with the Energy of the Station. If so, Own your Discomfort and Revert your Decisions.
Initiations are Conjunctions, and Conjunctions act like Stations in that we Experience the Energy increasing in Strength as the Exact Conjunction approaches, then it drops off rapidly, assuming we’ve Captured the available Learning to keep, and not the Energy. Again, we want to Pay Attention to Discomfort before the Initiation, and Work on Ourself to Own and Revert if necessary after the Initiation. What we Learn from any astroevent is ours to keep. They’re all Teachers.
Initiations Differ from Conjunctions, however, in that they also Begin a new Cycle, and the Energy that’s Born at the Initiation – including your Reactions to and Learnings from the Initiation – will Endure on some level for the entire Cycle, whether the Cycle is Initiated by a New Moon (28 days) or by Saturn and Pluto (30-some years).
We’ve added a few words of preliminary interpretation, but of course the actual interpretation will flow from a chart drawn for the Station, which we don’t normally do till we’re getting close to the event. The preliminary interpretation will probably hang True, but it may not be The Most Important interpretation.
The short interpretations below are Dimensions, not Directions. The Direction is up to us. For instance, in the first few days of November Our Perspective on our Vitality may Improve or Decline. If the latter, it’s Identifying Karma for us to Let Go Of. If we Allow our Victimhood to Reinforce the Decline, we Lose. If we Notice the Decline and Realize that we have the Power to Heal (Tapping, Poor-Sweethearting, PIAVAing, Plan-Executing, Invoking the Unseen Therapist, et al), we Win.
If Our Perspective on our Vitality Improves, Gratitude is Relevant. You don’t want to use the Improvement to pad your Ego – it’s not your Ego that Heals, though it can certainly Catalyze Healing, and increasing Self-Love is always Valuable, but not for Cause. If Self-Love depends on Cause, it will never become Unconditional. Self-Love is the Natural Condition we Strive to Return to, and we can certainly Congratulate ourself for Work Well Done when we step in that Direction. But it’s Grace that Heals, and to Welcome and Encourage Grace, lift out the “c” and drop in a “titud,” then give it plenty of Exercise.

We aren’t adding the Moons and Sign Changes to this list, because they have different orientations in Time, and they would just make the list overlong. The above are what we regard as The Most Important astroevents of the next six months. We’ll table the Moons and Sign Changes separately, and maybe add the Out-of-Bounds periods, since the Moon starts going Out-of-Bounds in March for the first time in a decade. Then if we get time, we can combine the lists to make a complete calendar.
